Dominion is a 2 to 4 players in which the main mechanic is deck building.

You read that right, this game is more about the deck of cards you end up with than the cards you play in the game. I find it a very original approach which will no doubt be copied in the future by other games.

It’s a medium/light game that takes about 30 minutes of play, very simple to grasp and with a good amount of choices. It’s one of my favorite “filler” games already and I’m always ready to play it.

The objective of this game is to end up with the most victory points in your deck, seeing as those victory serve no purpose on the deck while actually playing, there is a balance to be maintained between cards you can play and cards that will ultimately make you win.
